Drag the slider to see how much a coordinated exterior refresh can change a home.
Two-story colonial, Western New York — repainted siding and trim, black-framed windows, refreshed garage door, new entry lantern, layered landscape lighting, and a full front-bed planting refresh.
Warm taupe siding replaced with a soft neutral, paired with crisp white trim and black window sashes for contrast.
New black entry door and matching black carriage-style garage door replaced the original wood-tone garage.
Path lights along the walkway plus entry and garage sconces extend the home's presence into the evening.
Structured evergreen plantings and fresh mulch beds replaced overgrown shrubs along the entire front facade.
A widened paver walkway ties the driveway to the entry and gives the path lighting somewhere to live.
Black-framed windows throughout create a consistent, modern rhythm across both stories.
These three are conceptual design visualizations created by The Porch Edit to illustrate our process across common Western New York home styles — not photos of real projects or client homes.
